Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to plasma activated water. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and system of thermal and non-thermal plasma for generating plasma activated water.
- Water can be “activated” by applying plasma in contact with the water, for instance by creating plasma inside (bubbles in) the water, or along a water surface.
- Plasma activated water typically contains hydrogen peroxide, nitrates, nitrites, where peroxynitrite is formed due to a reaction with nitrite and hydrogen peroxide in an acidic environment, and is only present in PAW for period of approximately 15 minutes after activation.
- PAW typically has a pH ranging from 0 to 7.
- the components of PAW and the low pH have proven synergistic antimicrobial effects against bacteria, biofilms, yeasts and other microorganisms.
- PAW can be used as a natural fertilizer, it enhances seed germination and stimulates plant growth.
- a non-thermal plasma essentially produces reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species (ROS, RNS) in the gas phase, which result in the formation of the products in the water.
- ROS reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species
- FIG. 1 shows a prior art graph of typical pH and concentrations for peroxide, nitrite and nitrate for both a thermal and a non-thermal plasma.
- a thermal plasma is more efficient due to the relatively high temperature of such plasma, which yields higher concentrations with low creation of peroxide, where high temperatures decompose peroxide and peroxynitrite is an isomer of nitrate and very unstable, this component will always decompose quickly.
- nitrate as a result of the activation process has shown to be very energy efficient and can be used as an energy efficient alternative for the production of nitrogen components in fertilizers, currently produced by the high energy consuming Haber-Bosch process.
- the activation process has also shown to be efficient for the production of peroxide.
- a thermal and non-thermal plasma activated water reactor system includes a reaction chamber, where the reaction chamber includes a gas inlet, a water inlet, a gas and water outlet, a ground electrode and reaction electrodes, where the water inlet and the water outlet are disposed to form a water vortex in the reaction chamber when water flows there through, where the reaction electrodes include a thermal plasma electrode and a non-thermal plasma electrode, and a plasma activated water reservoir that is disposed to receive the plasma activated water from the reaction chamber and disposed to return the plasma activated water to the reaction chamber.

- the non-thermal electrode is connected to a pulsed RF voltage, an AC-RF voltage, or a DC voltage, where the DC voltage includes an ohmic series impedance element.
- the reaction chamber includes a thermal portion separated from a non-thermal portion, where the thermal portion is connected to the non-thermal portion by a reaction chamber conduit, where the thermal portion includes the thermal electrode, where the non-thermal portion includes the non-thermal electrode.
- the non-thermal electrode is coupled to the gas inlet, where the gas inlet is coupled to the water inlet of the reaction chamber, where water in the water inlet is plasma activated by the non-thermal electrode as gas is drawn into the water inlet according to venturi forces of said water inlet.
- the thermal and non-thermal electrodes produce reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen in the plasma activated water.
- the thermal and non-thermal plasma activated water reactor system is configured to produce a fertilizer nitrogen species or a hydrogen peroxide species.
- the non-thermal plasma electrode includes a plurality of non-thermal electrodes, where energy is evenly divided over all the plurality of non-thermal electrodes.
- the ground electrode includes a metallic container and the reaction chamber includes a glass or a dielectric chamber, where plasma current is conducted by a wall of the glass or the dielectric reaction chamber, where the plasma current includes a displacement current, or a capacitive current.
- the metallic container is a metallic foil.

- the non-thermal electrode can be connected to a pulsed RF voltage, an AC-RF voltage, or a DC voltage, where the DC voltage includes an ohmic series impedance element. The voltage must be sufficiently high in order to ignite the thermal plasma, which is either a pulsed, AC or continuous arc.
- the applied voltage can be lowered once the plasma is ignited (but not below the extinction voltage), and/or a series capacitor can be used.
- the current through the plasma affects the temperature of the arc, and consequently the rate of formation of the ROS and RNS.
- Eventual erosion of the electrodes can be reduced by reducing the plasma current, applying dedicated electrode material, by applying negative DC high voltage or by applying pulsed voltages.
- a second electrode or a second set of electrodes is applied, where the electrode can be a pin electrode, or the set of electrodes can be an array of pin electrodes, a (surface) dielectric barrier type electrode, or corona wire electrodes.
- These electrodes are connected to pulsed or AC-RF high voltage, that is sufficiently high to generate the non-thermal plasma.
- a DC high-voltage can be applied, where a high-ohmic series impedance is needed in order to maintain and stabilize the non-thermal plasma.
- the same electrodes are used to generate both the thermal and the non-thermal plasma by switching the power supply between a thermal and a non-thermal mode with pre-defined duty cycles.
- the reactor is part of a closed loop system as shown in FIGS. 3A-3G , which includes a water reservoir.
- both the water and air are circulated through the reactor to control the plasma activation.
- the circulation can be enabled by a separate air and water pump as shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3C , or by a single pump in the gas and water outlet as shown FIG. 3B and FIG. 3D and FIG. 3E is the same as FIG. 3B with a water pump, where the reactors have multiple electrodes creating thermal plasma, combined with multiple electrodes creating non-thermal plasma. In the latter case, the pressure in the reactor loop will be slightly reduced.
- FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B allow controlled gas phase recycling with periodic or continuous fresh air dosage.
- FIG. 3F shows a configuration similar to FIG. 3C , with thermal electrodes only in the reactor, and without the air pump, where the non-thermal electrode is coupled with a venturi port entering the return water port to the main reactor chamber.
- FIG. 3G shows a configuration similar to FIG. 3C , with the cooling element replaced or combined with a static mixer.
- FIG. 3 shows the reaction chamber having a thermal portion separated from a non-thermal portion, where the thermal portion is connected to the non-thermal portion by a reaction chamber conduit, where the thermal portion includes the thermal electrode, where the non-thermal portion includes the non-thermal electrode, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 shows an electrode having an insulator, a non-thermal electrode and a thermal electrode, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 which include the gas inlet and the water inlet of the reactor are placed off center, while the outlet is positioned rather high or in another case typically low in the center of the reactor. This results in a vortex movement of the air and the water, enhancing the mixing of the reactive species.
- the plasma gas runs together with the treated water through the outlet to maximize the contact of ROS and RNS with the water.
- the air in the reaction is recycled to re-use the gas radicals out of the previous cycle.
- the reactive gas produced by the plasma is not wasted.
- the shape of the reactor and the inlet of water and air supply can be positioned in such a way that a vortex is created inside the reaction chamber to further optimize the interface between and the mixing of the plasma and water/liquid to be treated.
- the shape of the reactor can be conical, but also a venturi shape or cyclone shape.
- the method has many parameters that can be adjusted independently and used to optimally control the PAW process towards a certain application, a desired rate/treatment time, or towards the amount of water to be treated. These parameters include adjusting the plasma power and the plasma on/off time (or duty cycle), independently for each of the two plasma modes, adjusting the flow rate of both the air and the water, varying the amount of water in the reservoir, adjusting the air refreshment rate in the recycling loop, varying the absolute pressure in the reactor, and optimizing the water and plasma interface.
- FIGS. 6A-6D show graphs of resultant pH values of NO 2 ⁇ and H 2 O 2 vs plasma energy per volume, according to the current invention.
- PAW is decalcification for the prevention of limescale, seed germination, and use for feeding water to crops and plants to increase plant growth as natural fertilizer.
- PAW is used within approximately 15 minutes after it is produced a log 8.4 reduction of S.
- Epidermidis is achieved within 5 minutes and a log 6.5 reduction for S.
- Aureus is achieved in 10 minutes.
- the PAW technology is used to purify and/or disinfect waste water, drinking water or any other water that needs to be purified or disinfected.
- the current invention enables the production of PAW using exclusively air, electricity and water, where there are no other chemicals added.
- PAW allows disinfection of human skin, wounds, root channels in teeth, medical instruments, equipment and surfaces.
- sterilization is enabled due to a synergetic effect when combining PAW with a mild disinfectant.
- the dissolved ROS and RNS in the PAW do not only result in disinfection, but also play a role in other important biological processes.
- Application of PAW on human skin will thoroughly clean and disinfect the skin. Hereby, microorganisms will be killed without affecting the skin and healthy tissue. This enables treatment of skin diseases, such as fungal foot infections, psoriasis, fungal nails, etc.
- the thermal and non-thermal PAW system is configured directly output PAW to a crop, where the activated liquid/water is than sprayed immediately, or after the PAW has been stored, or applied in any other form.
- the vase life of cut flowers can be significantly extend by PAW. Also buds of flowers (roses) infected with botrytis can be reduced by about 60%.
- PAW can be used as an alternative to existing biocides and pesticides in agriculture and horticulture.
- the dissolved RNS can be used as feedstock for plants and crops.
- the reactor generates a thermal plasma and/or a non-thermal plasma to activate water or a liquid forming plasma activated water (PAW) or plasma activated liquid. Both plasmas can run independent from each other or simultaneously.
- the production of reactive species, ROS and RNS and other plasma components can be controlled by combining thermal and non-thermal plasmas, thereby controlling the composition of PAW or activated liquid.
- the plasma activated gas is mixed with the liquid in such a way that the reactive species, ROS and RNS can penetrate and dissolved into the liquid, a vortex is preferable used but gas bubbles in the liquid or making a spray of the liquid to mix with the plasma is also provided.
- the pressure can be reduced or increased to enhance the activation process.
- the reactor includes 1 or more electrodes on which the plasmas will be ignited and maintained during the activation process.
- This can be a thermal plasma and a non-thermal plasma that run independent from each other or simultaneously.
- the reactor includes a separate water and separate air inlet, where both flows can be adjusted to a specific activation process.
- the water and air inlets are situated in the reactor so that they create a vortex to optimize the interface between the plasma and the liquid.
- the outlet of the reactor can also be independently adjusted.
- the combination of non-thermal and thermal plasma can be controlled to create PAW with a pH ranging from 0 to 7, or an ORP value ranging from 200 mV to 800 mV. Note that the quality and composition of the PAW is not limited to these values. This combination also offers the possibility to control the production and production rates of hydrogen peroxide, nitrate, nitrite, and any other ROS and RNS.
- the shape of the reactor is configured for optimal contact between the plasma and the liquid being treated, where the reactor is preferably of a conical shape, a venture shaped reactor and/or a cyclone shaped reactor.
- the pressure in the reactor can be reduced or increased to optimize the interface between the plasma and the treated liquid.
- the invention is configured to dilute the PAW to obtain a desired concentration of any PAW component, pH, ORP or EC value.

- the present invention has now been described in accordance with several exemplary embodiments, which are intended to be illustrative in all aspects, rather than restrictive. Thus, the present invention is capable of many variations in detailed implementation, which may be derived from the description contained herein by a person of ordinary skill in the art.
- the PAW has very strong disinfecting properties, such as to realize 6 to 8 log reduction of bacteria as S. Epidermidids and S. Aureus .
- the PAW has “mild” disinfecting properties, that can last for a period of at least 1.5 years after its production (when the PAW is properly stored: cooled, dark, and isolated from air).
- the PAW formed by the current invention can have two distinct versions: a very powerful disinfectant that must be used within 15 min after its plasma activation, and a more moderate disinfectant that can be stored for at least 1.5 years and keeps its disinfecting properties during this long period when properly stored. All such variations are considered to be within the scope and spirit of the present invention as defined by the following claims and their legal equivalents.
